Letra de I Shot The Sheriff (Live At The Rainbow Theatre, London / June 2, 1977)

All around in my home town They've been trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the life of a deputy For the life of a deputy But I sayIt was I shot who the sheriff But I swear it was in self-defense It was I shot who the sheriff And I swear it was in self-defense (woah)Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what I don't know, now Every time I plant a seed He said, "Kill them before they grow" He said, "Kill them before they grow, now" And so, and soIpai, ipai, ipai, I shot the sheriff Lord, I didn't shoot no deputy It was I who shot the sheriff But I, but I didn't shoot no deputy (hoo, hooo)Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah And all of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown He was aiming to shoot I down So I, oh yes I, I shot him down And I say, for guilty I'll payI shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy (Ooh) It was I who shot the sheriff But I, I didn't shoot the deputy (Ooh, ooh)Reflexes got the better of me What is to be must be Every day the bucket goes to the well I tell you what, one day the bottom will drop out And I bid, one day the bottom will drop out And so, and so
